Note: This documentation assumes you have already installed the UIEvolution Software Development Kit (UIE SDK) using the installation program.

This documentation may be updated more frequently than the rest of the SDK. You can always find the most current documentation at the UIEvolution developer web site, here.

After installing the SDK, use the UIE Developer User's Guide guide to test drive UIEvolution's development environment with a simple application-to-phone example. The weather sample application in the UIE Developer User's Guide illustrates how easy it is to edit and publish UJML applications to various target devices and deployment environments.

1. Verify that you have installed the SDK.
2. Run the samples, as described in the UIE Developer User's Guide.
3. Refer to the UIE Developer User's Guide for common IDE tasks.
4. Review the UJML Language Reference to learn more about UJML.

The following documentation describes the UIE SDK:

The UIEvolution SDK consists of the following components:

• UIE Developer allows you to edit and debug your UJML programs interactively; watching variables change values, stepping through the code, and setting breakpoints. UIE Developer is based on the Eclipse Java IDE.
• The UIE Player runs compiled UJML programs on any device for which a player exists.
• The UJML compiler turns UJML source code into byte-code files which the UIE Player interprets.

These are some of the features of the UIE SDK that have changed since version 1.5: 

UIE Developer has been improved.

• UIE Developer has been ported to Eclipse.
• UIE Developer is now supported on Mac OSX 10.4 and Windows XP SP2
• Source-level debugging

Improved UJML source editor

• Customization of UJML Editor settings globally
• Auto-completion of tags, functions, events, variables, entities, and inside script blocks
• Syntax coloring
• Code collapse/code folding
• Error Markers shown in source file

UJML Features

• Both native and UJML components are supported
• Resizable arrays
• File bundling in one network transaction

General SDK Improvements

• Improved stability
• New device skins
• Available UIE™ Players can be used freely for non-commercial use
• Japanese Internationalization
• Samples are saved as a project and can be deployed

Obsolete SDK Items

• Tomcat is no longer installed with UIE Developer. Go to http://tomcat.apache.org for links and information on installing Tomcat.
• System-level Java JVM is no longer installed with UIE Developer. UIE Developer uses a private JVM that is installed when the application is installed.
